MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
Yes to Life, No to Mining (YLNM) is a global solidarity movement of and for Indigenous Peoples, local communities, organisations and networks who are standing up for their Right to Say No to Mining and advancing life-sustaining post-extractive futures
we fight for life
We have come together under the banner of Yes to Life No to Mining (YLNM) in the shared belief that saying no to mining is not a selfish, negative or anti-development position, but an absolute necessity at this moment of converging social, economic and ecological crises.
If you are from frontline communities, a people’s platform, a non-profit organisation, or a national or regional network and are working towards a world beyond mining we would love to hear from you.
we say no to mining
Bringing frontline voices to global prominence, since 2017, Yes to Life No to Mining (YLNM) has collaborated on a number of different campaign and research efforts highlighting the critical need for post-extractive solutions to the climate and ecological crises we face.
